Pros

*I came in at a very early stage in both the company and my career, and growing alongside it was very cool. *People in technical lead positions are great at building employees and helping you grow your career. *The people are some of the friendliest people around and very welcoming. *You get to play with a lot of cool technologies. *Work life balance is great on my team, but I will admit i see it differ from team to team. *The office is nice *You get a lot of ownership in the applications you write *Horizontal role changes are common *I really gotta reiterate that the people here are talented and nice, its really what made leaving difficult

Cons

*The level of team to team communication is low, and people only seem to care about their own domain *Technical leadership needs more of control over product direction. *Compensation for entry level does not grow with experience or responsibility at a even rate *Product direction is sorta odd, theres sort of two internal companies with two products that operate independently of each other and it causes some real pain *CEO really went on a unprofessional rant about his vision that isnt reflected in the product process *Vertical movement internally happens less than it should.
